For distinguished legal service

For distinguished legal service and long devotion to Dartmouth, Amos N. Blandin '18 (right) was presented the Alumni Award at the January dinner for the Trustees and Council members in Hanover. In making the presentation, Ellwood Fisher '21 (left), president of the Council, read the following citation:

Illustrious Dartmouth son, the depth and breadth of your legal service to this State of New Hampshire is immeasurable. You have served her high courts for over twenty years ... as Associate and Chief Justice of the Superior Court, and more recently as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

Your family line dates back to the early years of Dartmouth College. Graduate in the Class of 1918, you have served College and Class ever since. You have been Class Agent, President of the Merrimack County Alumni Association, Chairman of a special Advisory Committee studying Campus Conduct, and frequent lecturer before the Great Issues course and other groups and classes on campus.

After*" World War I Army service you received your LL.B. degree at Harvard in 1921. From that time until your appointment as a Judge in 1941, you practiced law in Concord. You have served on numerous distinguished boards, committees, and commissions both within the state and nationally.

Judge Blandin, you are noted for salty philosophy, delivered from the bench in a true New Hampshire accent, with kind but firm instructions to those found guilty, so as to make the lowest characters "see the light"

For dedication to your College, and devotion to the highest humane principles of your profession, we present to you the Dartmouth Alumni Award.
